Whilst it looks big and glossy with 3 pools etc, I felt it didn’t live up to its reputation or appearance. First the good: Great facilities for kids (I'm sure most families would have a ball). A fair choice of restaurants. A big breakfast buffet with a fairly large choice of foods. Our room was quiet The two double beds... More

Just spent 8 nights at Merlin in late April to May. This is our second stay at Merlin. With 2 kids 8 and 11 we had an interconnecting room. From the welcome to the lovely clean cool room the Merlin was lovely. We were in a different building this time looking over the quiet pool, which was a bit of... More

We Stayed at Merlin Beach Hotel in March 2013 ...The Hotel is far from Bangla Road which was a plus for us (Two Couples wanted to take some rest and be far from Crowd and Busy City Life). We got all we expected from this hotel the view from our room was unique we took a room at 2nd floor... More

bit worried as to how isolated this hotel was but was so wrong....the staff were incredible,the food first class,the facilities second to none and could not fault the cleanliness.i would thoroughly recommend the hut on the left hand side of the beach for all your massage needs....will go back one day!!

We stayed here in january with another family, Ill get the worst out of the way first. The only fault I can point out with the hotel is the staffs very poor English language. It was mainly the cleaners but. Quite a few of the bar, restaurant and general staff do struggle with English. The hotel is fabulous. The breakfasts... More

Recently returned fom Thailand and would highly recommend the Merlin Beach. A bit out of the way but service was excellent,a choice of 3 big and inviting pools and rooms met our every expectation.Only negative the pool bar cocktails were full of ice and not good value.
